The article said:

Chairman Xi will just have to buy off Taiwan’s politicians like he does every other country.

I say:

It worked for Biden and The United States, didn't it?

The article also said:

“Bud Light VP of Marketing Alissa Heinerscheid has taken a leave of absence ..."

Uhm, no she hasn't. According to a couple of news outlets, neither liberal, this PIG has been fired.

She deserves to be fired. But she's in the protected class so she'll land somewhere else and continue her "important diversity work."

The U.S. Department of Transportation has a job for her (Secretary of Maternity Leave Buttigieg is looking for female crash test dummies).

I'll wait for the announcement that she has returned from her leave of absence, still on the payroll. I might be here for a while, huh?

And here's something to compliment Don Surber's splendid sense of humor:

“Five NFL Players Hit With Gambling Bans” --- NYP 09/22/23

“Four Detroit Lions players … have been suspended for violating the NFL’s gambling policy, the league announced Friday,” yesterday (Friday 09/21/23).

Four players were Detroit Lions (Williams, Berryhill, Moore and Cephus).

What didn’t make the paper was which “prop” they had bet on, which happened to be:

“In 2023, Which NFL team will have the most number of players suspended for violating the NFL gambling policies?”

The Lions players pooled their money and waged $5,000,000 on … Detroit.

(Isn't it odd that the word "wages" usually means money earned from hard work, not from gambling; and yet, the word "wagered" in most instances means that that the money earned from that hard work is about to be squandered?)

Unless she becomes Anthony Weiner's second wife... (Alissa has the same horse-face as his first wife. Hollywood: "We have the second remake of Fatal Attraction right here in our hands, boys, let's not waste time!").

Hey Tony,

I think something like that is already in play on Taiwan. Let me ask you, if you were the Little Taiwanese Pig and the Big Bad Chinese Wolf was huffing and puffing and threatening to blow your house down, wouldn’t you be yelling and screaming for the Taiwanese Diaspora to, at the very least take your children while the getting good? I don’t detect a peep.

Something is not adding up here.

Using a historical parallel, once it became obvious in Germany around 1929-1931 that the Nazis were becoming a force to be dealt with, Every Jew in Germany should have run for the hills, but they didn't. Why? Because they felt they were Germans just like everyone else and only a few actually left or made preparations to do so. Hitler's "Mein Kampf" in 1926 even spelled it out: "We will wipe the Jew from the face of the earth." That threat seems very clear to me. Likewise in Taiwan (Formosa). Only a fool would not take the Chinese threat seriously ESPECIALLY with a corrupt jellyfish like Joe Biden in office. We are on the verge of WWIII and all Biden and the media want is another place for this child molesting and corrupt whore to find another place to get his ice cream.

There was active Ant-Semitism at work in the West too Tony, the Canadian Minister in charge of that at the time dropped the line about ‘None is too many’, but essentially you’re correct..there is no way anybody could take that kind of influx of anyone. That is why Hitler loved the St. Louis drama play itself out!

As far as the St. Louis goes, I saw the movie "Voyage of the Damned" back in 1975. As far as I know, the St. Louis did not go to Canada,.but were stopped by the United States Coast Guard as they tried to leave Cuba for the U.S. Now, Canada DID adopt a "No Jews Allowed" policy, but it had nothing to do with the St Louis.

AND the event was celebrated in the NY Times. Speaking of which, I bet you can get a good used copy inexpensively on Abe Books (or elsewhere) of John Corry's "My Times," which details (he was there) how in the 1980s-90s NYT-Pravda went into the communist/feminist rathole. It's also a very good memoir about his life outside of what turned into Moscow-On-The-Hudson (remember how "MOTH" was supposed to be a "joke"? Ha. Ha.).

This is from the Daily Mail (UK, where the press can tell the truth about America but not about the UK); the link started with Citizen Free Press.

04/25/23 (5 pm): Late to the party!

Microsoft 11’s Spellcheck works as well as Bud Lite tastes. For instance, according to this version of SC, “Spellcheck” is not a word. My pre-emptive apology for what is misspelt (incredibly, “misspelt” is also not a word in W11's SC, which evidently has been brewed by Anheuser-Busch).

ITEM 3: “The Daily Mail reported, …” Those of us who have gratefully installed AdBlock are in turn blocked by the Daily Mail if we refuse to turn it off.

Since not having AB results in all web sites with advertising exploding into a Salvador Dali exhibition of insanity, turning it off is unthinkable.

Previously, with a Don Surber link, we were able to get into the Daily Mail without being blocked. They obviously have figured out a way to stop us now. Which is their loss; I’ve never seen an indispensable DM article.

ITEM 5: Legal Insurrection reported, “Missouri State U…”

85% of all U.S. College/universities are now officially the co-headquarters of the New American Multi-Racial KKK.

ITEM 7: The Daily Mail reported, “Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman returned to the Senate this week …

“During a Senate Agriculture Committee’s Subcommittee on Food and Nutrition, Specialty Crops, Organics and Research meeting, the recovering lawmaker …”

In the video, did you see the tiny room that they met in?

It looked like a NYC Board of Education “rubber room” where they stash their employees who either refuse to comply / with raycist / fascist BoE orders or have been arrested by the police for serious crimes and yet cannot be fired.

It had everything but Kindergarten Alphabet Blocks on the walls.

And Fetterman sounded like a POW reading off a scripted statement that all is fine and that they're received their Red Cross packages.

ITEM 12… “BuzzFeed News Is Shutting Down…”… Maybe the FBI will hire them to work for the bureau directly.

Ex-BuzzFraud employees will not be able to pass the FBI entrance-exam literacy test until Garland intervenes and issues a “Must Pass Them All” Directive (modeled on the ones Napoleon sent to Paris during his retreat from Moscow in 1812).

ITEM 16: The Epoch Times reported, “Civil Rights Complaint Filed Against Anheuser-Busch for Racist and Sexist Hiring.”

I loved that A-B publicity photo of the Buttigieg Lyte “Diversity and Inclusion” PR team:

100% White People. Not even a token Cigar Store Indian wheeled into the photo shoot.

And so it goes.

Scott Johnson of Powerline just doesn't get it. The Powerline folks don't get it at all. Basically, they have devolved into a small group of Never Trumpers, some openly, some snidely. Never mind that Trump gave them judges and tax cuts and the kind of conservatism they say they want. The Donald is just too vulgar and uncouth for their tastes. They'll probably vote for Biden or Kennedy and they'll support DeSantis in the primaries. These are the kind of conservatives I now consider out of touch with actual voters. I've been reading Powerline for 20 years and I check in regularly to see what they have to say. The blog is good concerning crime and education and the op-ed pieces they post are generally interesting, but there's far too much pearl clutching going on over there on politics. Remember, they have principles and can accept losing with grace.

RFK,Jr.‘s value is not as a potential president, but a force within the Democrat voting bloc to drive some voters towards skepticism of the media/deep state narrative on vaccines, lockdowns, and Ukraine. He is loosening a segment of the block for Trump to chisel off, just as Bernie did to Hillary in 2016.
